The Wild Wild West (TV series)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Loveless. Evidence:
    • He and his ladyfriend Antoinette in "The Night of the Murderous Spring," happily singing to each other in a hospital while in the next room the entire staff, having been drugged by Loveless, are busy slaughtering each other. And he did it just to make a point to Jim and Artie.
    • He wiped out most of an entire ecosystem in "The Night of the Green Terror", just to get the local natives to take up arms against the US government.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Jim taking out two bad guys at once in "The Night of the Human Trigger."
    • Artie's swordfight in "The Night of the Big Blast."
    • The old Indian chief not taking any guff from Loveless in "The Night of the Green Terror."
  • Fan Disservice: There is a reason "The Night of the Two-Legged Buffalo" featured Ross Martin's only real shirtless scene in the entire series (although he later gets a massage while sans shirt in "The Night of the Sedgewick Curse," he's lying down at the time). Some fans may argue the very sexy Michele Carey being turned into gold and blown up in "The Night of the Feathered Fury" also qualifies.
  • Fan Service: For those who like guys, a frequently shirtless Robert Conrad and his penchant for sporting very tight pants. For those who like ladies, see Girl of the Week.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Try and not feel creeped out about your house after a viewing of "The Night of the Man-eating House".
  • Narm: "The Night of the Dancing Death". Especially for anyone who knows anything about the real Camorra.
  • Special Effects Failure: "The Night of the Wolf" has several shots of a more-than-obviously-stuffed canine.
  • Values Dissonance: The way that Jim and Artie treated women would never be tolerated in a 21st-century TV series, but it was par for the course in the 1960s.
